WHAT TO LOOK FOR IN A WINTER JACKET
Levels of protection Winter’s Jackets
Running jackets provide three levels of protection:
- Protection from the wind: wind makes you feel cold, especially when you are sweating. This is widely known as the windchill effect. A windproof running jacket will protect you from cold air, which indirectly makes you warmer.
- Water repellency: in light rain or snow, a water-repellant treatment keeps moisture from entering the garment.
- Waterproofing: thanks to a Gore-Tex type membrane, protection against moisture is further increased. Waterproof jackets might be more expensive, but they provide the best protection against bad weather. The Schmerber scale measures how waterproof a membrane is, and we consider a result of 10,000mm or higher to be waterproof.
